This is one way to use a burned-out building. This new piece of art emerged on the north side of the former Transition to Independent Living building at the corner of 46th and Spruce Streets. The building was damaged in fire in February 2011.
Anybody know anything about it? Please let others know in the comments.
Conrad at Streets Dept (http://streetsdept.com/) might recognize the artist.
It’s an artist called Harlequinade. There’s another piece up on Baltimore near 48th.

I think the same artist just put up a similar piece (though of a bull) on the abandoned building near Mariposa on Baltimore between 48th-49th. I just noticed it last weekend. Whoever it is, I’m loving it!
Love the piece! Does anyone know anything about the status of the building and if there are plans to do something with it?
Interesting to find that the ‘Water Elemental’ piece is on a building that almost burned down.
